BIG4 MacDonnell Range Holiday Park is so jam-packed with things to do that you’ll never even have to leave the park. Escape from the NT heat with the park’s pools and water slide, and the kids will be able to get busy on the cooler days burning around the park on a pedal go-kart or tearing up the BMX track.
Located just 15 minutes south of Darwin, Darwin FreeSpirit Resort is a great way to experience the Top End in comfort. During peak season, Kidz Korner has plenty to keep little explorers entertained in between crocodile expeditions and visits to national parks, while the three year-round resort pools are the perfect way to cool down.
Intrepid Top End explorers assemble! BIG4 Howard Springs Holiday Park is the gateway to Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, making it the perfect home base for families ready to experience the unique surrounds. Back at the park there’s also plenty to do, including an all-important water park and three pools to cool off after notoriously hot NT days.
Nitmiluk Caravan Park is the perfect launchpad for exploring Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge, which lies just a few minutes’ walk away. Choose from powered and unpowered camping sites, a permanent tent village or chalet accommodation, and relax poolside after hiking, biking or canoeing your way around the area. Add to this the stunning constellations in the night sky after the sun goes down and you’ve got yourself a slice of Top End paradise.
Peace and quiet is on the agenda with a stay at Douglas Daly Tourist Park. Nestled on the Douglas River, the park is a hub of nature and wildlife – wander along the many bushwalking trails before taking a dip in the river with its natural spas and thermal pools. A restaurant, bar and barbecue area are sure to keep little bellies full, so mum and dad can sit back and enjoy the serenity.
It’s a tremendous achievement to have your property recognised by the people who matter most: the families who stay there. We love seeing how many wonderful options there are for travellers with kids in tow all across the world, and every year the list is expanding.
As you can probably imagine, it’s a massive job to compile the Top 10 each year, and the Holidays with Kids team has been hard at work for the last few months compiling all the survey responses and sorting them into categories.
Holidays with Kids was the first travel magazine in Australia to do readers’ choice awards all the way back in 2001, our editors are pretty much certified experts in this field.
